Migration is one of the defining realities of the 21st century — shaping economies, communities, national policies, and local neighborhoods, including here in Nebraska. This course examines why people move, how refugee and asylum systems function, and how migration affects both newcomers and host communities, combining global analysis with hands-on engagement in Lincoln.
What to expect
Students participate in a structured mentorship project with a local migration professional, complete an inquiry-based research project, write analytical reflections, and collaborate on a public-facing dialogue event. Assignments emphasize careful research, ethical engagement, clear writing, and connecting global migration systems to real community experiences.
